In this lesson, children convert between different units of measurement for length (mm, cm, m and km). Children use their prior knowledge of multiplying and dividing by 10,100 and 1000 to convert between the different measurements. There is a teaching presentation accompanied by differentiated activities with a range of fluency, reasoning and problem-solving questions.
